Status update Episode 6 (Patreon)

Last week I've mainly been writing/coding and posing some static renders.

These last few weeks I've been working on the checklist I made. It originally had roughly 160 bullet points and now it's down to 27, with several sub-tasks per task.

My strategy was to do every simple task at first to gain momentum, leaving the bigger tasks to the end and that's where I'm at right now.

To break it down for you, this is what remains in terms of development.

• Writing: 6 scenes + 2 free roam events
• Static renders: 18 scenes + 2 free roam events
• Animations: 4 scenes (~20-50 animations, depending on the length of the animations)

Coding tasks:

• Adding Bios
• Some phone content
• Making sure gallery scenes work
• A tutorial for something new
• Some code for something else that's new
• Relationship reports
• 1 minigame
• Freeroam code
• Adding music/sound to 10 scenes
• Playtesting and polishing before beta testing and proofreading can begin.

The current render count is 2365 renders and 94 animations.

I have a queue with 49 static renders and 26 animations. Animations have been rendering rather slow lately, but you'll likely understand why when you see what's been cooking.

I estimate what's left in terms of art to be 20-50 animations and 500-1000 static renders. These are rough numbers.

The checklist is a bit more tangible now and it's nice to look at it without having to scroll to see the remaining tasks.

I want to finish writing the remaining scenes as soon as possible, so I can focus on the art afterward. That will be my main priority next week.

It's a story-heavy update and as you can see from the animation count, there will be lewd events to satisfy as well.

I passed episode 5 size in terms of writing sometime last week and there will be more things to do, unlock and discover in this update as well.

I've been working through a pesky cold this week, but nothing is going to stop me.

I hope you're as excited as I am because the mountain of work for episode 6 is almost down to pebble size.

Have a nice weekend
